Details

As of January 1, 2018, the Belgian-Dutch border between the Belgian city of Visé and the Dutch cities of Eijsden-Margraten and Maastricht will once again be in the middle of the Maas. That seems simple, but there is a lot involved. Such as the amendment of a historic Treaty between the two countries dating from 1843. But also practical agreements about the new border, nature and water. This boundary correction is an example of groundbreaking neighborhood. Realized in harmony and with respect for each other.
